Still worried about City and State budget.

0:00 Speaker 1 What is this Sunday morning? Is former Governor David Patterson to give us his update of what he thinks the situation is in New York the world and things are getting pretty ornery. But Governor, what say you?

0:18 Speaker 2 Well? John? I was really shocked that a week ago, yesterday, when Israel was attacked and the manner in which they were attacked. Now, I won’t even go through all the morbid, horrifying acts that Hamas committed on that day, how within an hour or two there were a number of company countries internationally scolding Israel and telling them to exercise restraint,

0:48 which is I believe the first time I’ve ever heard of the victim being chastised after experiencing such incredible and insurmountable pains. And through the week, I think there have been examples of that that have continued. For instance, that information comes out basically from the administration on Tuesday that they’ve looked into the situation and Iran is not involved

1:15 in this conflict. How would they know that? In seventy two hours? How would they know that? And I think that this is really concerning for someone like myself who happens to remember that sixty five percent John. Almost two thirds of the white people who marched with Doctor King in the Freedom rides were Jewish, and seventy five percent

1:43 of the resources that were raised outside of the black community came from Jewish people. So it doesn’t take me more than a second to stand with issue in this conflict.

2:00 Speaker 1 Yesterday, I think you were present when we talked on Friday with Larry Kudlow, and one of the things is Harmas themselves doesn’t have the power to do it by themselves. I ran almost ninety nine percent of the people feel in the no field that I ran somehow has been the supplier of weapons and money for Hamas and Washington, Washington.

2:32 In the last two years, has I ran went from four hundred thousand barrels a day allowed them to go to three and a half million barrels and their earnings is two billion dollars a week and oil because the oil market is ninety dollars and that’s where the money is coming from.

2:55 Speaker 2 And within the next two months they will be they will have ten times the oil that they had two years ago. It’s like an outrage, and I want to know what are they doing to what was the deal?

3:13 In other words, what are they doing to compensate for this particular you know, situation that exists between them and the United States government. It’s kind of outrageous and we better kind of get it together because part of the problem also, it isn’t just what’s going out of the country, it’s also what’s coming in, in the sense that even

3:36 in this conflict, there were many who situated themselves inside the Israeli border to be part of the attack, and you know, it didn’t seem to be known that they were actually there. So it’s just a terrible thing. I mean, that makes you think the only thing sometimes you can do is pray that somehow civility and common sense will

4:01 overtake the planet, because it’s not there right now.

4:05 Speaker 1 Well, Governor, as me and you have spoken many times, by contailing the production of oil in North America, we forced oil to ninety dollars situation, and that’s what’s supplying money to Russia for the war in Ukraine and the war in Africa. And so I ran for other reasons, and it’s just I’m scratching my head. It just doesn’t

4:30 make sense sometimes.

4:33 Speaker 2 Well, the only thing I can say is that Martin Luther King supported the Sixth Day War in nineteen sixty seven, and that he drew a lot of criticism for that because they were saying that a lot of the Palestinian refugees are living in poverty and that kind of thing.

4:54 And he did go on to talk about the problems that the Palestinian refugees had, but the Medians voted for Hamas when when when they had an election, So you know, it’s just one of those situations that really I think could plague us for a very long time if uh, this government is not clearer on exactly what its priorities are,

5:19 because it almost seems like they’re apologizing for attacking the initial the the initial attack from a week ago.

5:33 Speaker 1 On the last note, I feel sorry for the innocent Palestinians because the Hamas, which is a terrorist group running that country, financed by probably Iran, he is creating, taking the two million Palestinians and a lot of them must be innocent, and making them, uh, you know, and using them as a shield. And I don’t know what Israel

6:03 can do to do the right thing, but they have to. Look, they have to respond, in my opinion, and they have to take out I don’t know, maybe there’s five thousand terrorists, maybe there’s ten thousands. But these people were being paid.

6:22 They’re being paid, in my opinion, to terrorize. They’re not doing it for free necessarily, yes.

6:29 Speaker 2 And the worst thing about it is some of them probably wouldn’t have to be paid. That’s just how they feel. I think a lot of the Palestinians, there’s a very good point you made, really do not like Hamas any more than we do and can’t do anything about it.

6:42 Speaker 1 And that’s part of the tragedy.

6:44 Speaker 2 But it’s also part of war. I mean, we had some guests on this week that we’re talking about rescuing the hostages. It’s very hard for me to actually say this, but it’s going to be very, very very hard Israelis.

7:00 We’re able to do it in the rate of on Antebbe in nineteen seventy six, but in this particular situation, you have about fifteen people locked up and you have a number of people guarding them. People say, well, when you shoot at them, they have to protect themselves, so they won’t shoot the hostages. No, they will. They will,

7:20 And that’s the sad part about it.

7:23 Speaker 1 Governor. Let’s pray you know, today’s Sunday, I’ll go to church later on light Handle, let’s pray, and we’ll talk on Monday and see if there’s any problems being made.

7:35 Speaker 2 Thank you so much, thank you John,
